Chapter 973: Are you breaking up with me?
[Hours later...]
A soft moan escaped Ivy as she moved, furrowing her brows at the slight discomfort on her shoulder back. Her eyes behind her eyelids flickered before they slowly cracked open. The second she regained her consciousness, she squinted her eyes at the lights that intruded her vision. It took her a moment to get used to it, opening her eyes fully.
"Hah..." she breathed out, realizing it was the same ceiling of the ward where she fell asleep. ’It wasn’t a dream.’
What happened today truly happened; it wasn’t just a product of a hopeful dream.
’It did happen,’ she told herself once more, before raising her brows.
Turning her head to the side, her eyes instantly fell on the bed next to hers. There, lying flat on the bed, was Tiger. He had his eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling, unmoving.
"Tiger," she called, her voice a little coarse. "Why are you... are you okay?"
Unlike her, who had changed into a hospital gown, Tiger was just wearing his pants. His body, however, was covered with layers of bandages with faint traces of blood from within. He wasn’t injured earlier, was he? Did he fight someone again?
"I’ve already had these before rescuing you," Tiger replied after a minute of silence as if he figured out her thoughts even without looking at her. "I told you. I was investigating Dane, and was caught off guard when I was confronted by one of the men he planted in the hometown he said he came from."
